does zypper analyze and prompt for choices if you try and install something and there is a dependency conflict?
It does just that. If there seems to be no resolution upon answering, I can often solve it by using 'rpm -e --nodeps' on the package that seems to want to get upgraded but cannot, or an apparent dep for which is claimed cannot be provided because of the conflict.
FWIW, I find Zypper more friendly overall than Apt-get, Smart, Yum or Urpmi, even though it's youngest of the group.
Thanks for the help. I will try getting used to zypper, starting with installing the nVidia driver for my system. :) -- G.O.
